SPICY RICE CAKE MY WAY

My snacking, this recipe are very inspired by Korean cuisine, I don’t know about North Korea *gasp, but I love to watch south Korean eating their food which include so much passion. I love to snacking this kind of food during mid day, by snacking, this also can have a meaning lunch for me, if it make me feel full enough. I rather snacking something that satisfying than snacking stuff like potatoes cracker or thing similar to it. Also for me, it is important to eating mindfully.

To make this is also easy peasy, but I think first thing first you need to find the ingredient, the ingredient for me here are quite easy to find, there are abundant of Asian grocery store here. I choose rice cake in slice style, it is more quick to cooked compare to the one that used in tteokbokki recipe. what makes this recipe hit off was I put pinch of dried seaweed. It is become really fragrance like sipping a bowl full of ocean taste.

I enjoy bowl of this with bunch of veggie. The way I eat it, I put some of rice cake in the vegetable leaf then wrap them and put it in my mouth, it is like munching mouthful of freshness, chewiness, sweet salty ocean and spicy broth.

Owwhh, taste it with me…
